Yesterday I felt normal (temperature wise), and the thermometer read 96. Today I'm feeling warm, take my temp, and it's 98. Apparently I run cold for a human.

My "normal" is consistently below 98.6.

98.6 F is the average *core* temperature, and the gold standard for measuring core temperature is rectally. Every other method tends to give lower temoeratures than actual core temp :)

Didn't used to be this way, there was a time when my oral temp ran an even 98 on healthy days. I try to avoid all methods of taking actual core temps, rectal and liver thermometers alike =D
